The install kernels have very minimal disk support. In the case of
amd64/i386, it's one wd device -- wd0, not sure about sparc64, but
I'd bet a cheap lunch that sd2 is not there. :)
After booting your install kernel, do this:
# cd /dev
# sh MAKEDEV sd0 sd1 sd2
or whatever you need to accomplish your task at hand.
NOW you will be able to do what you wish. Yes, the installer script
does this for you. And yes, this is a common issue regardless of
platform.
